Once upon a time there were great big companies in a
land called
Detroit. Often they were attacked by foreign
invaders. Being all-powerful,
Detroitflicked its
would-be rivals aside like cigar ashes on an expensive suit.

Thus, when another attempt was
made to raid their kingdom — this time by Japanese with funny names like
“
Toyota, Datsun, and Honda,” the laughing from
the land called
Detroit brought such tears to its American
executives’ eyes they couldn’t clearly read the sales charts that illustrated
the start of an alarmingly diminishing market share.

When their ample bellies stopped
shaking and their eyes cleared the horrible realization that they’ve been
successfully invaded was so paralyzing they still develop nervous B.O. in
boardrooms through Southeast Michigan.

Over time the Detroiters and their
Japanese rivals reached an accommodation, one that basically reads, “Let us live
and we’ll give you the South.” As the Japanese, and their European colleagues
took over Southern states in a move not seen since the mid-1860s, all have
become oblivious to a new challenger to their turf — the Koreans.

For many years Korean
manufacturers tried to gain a foothold in North America, but their notoriety was
primarily limited to being the standard for manufacturing vehicles the public
did not want to buy (just like the
early Japanese imports). Thus, for the most part they have been ignored and
allowed to market in this hemisphere, the thought being they made everybody
else’s vehicles look better by comparison.

After years of diligence towards
improving quality and attempting to produce a good product at an affordable
price,
Detroit and the Godzillas of the
Pacific Rim are now seriously threatened by the
Korean invasion.

This vehicle does the job but is nothing special. The suspension is soft and a little clunky with decent acceleration. The seating is comfortable with most controls within easy reach. Lots of trunk space.

Best car I've owned! Had a 2005 Sonata that I was sorry I traded it in for a 2013 Dodge Dart. Worst mistake I've ever made in purchasing a car.

I've had an 07 and a 2015 turbo. I still like my old 07 better. Only thing it did t have That I missed was leather seats and nav. This one fully decked out, auto cruse jams brakes, speeds up uncontrollably sometimes, and sometimes doesn't slow down when it should. The seats leathers aren't wearing well, the nav system sucks and doesn't work well using handsfree. Also get the models with bigger tires, otherwise you have a bone jarring uncomfortable ride, seat still aren't comfortable passengers have made comments. The sound system is great. The busy bumpers and lot ons on the sides are impossible to get clean without massive effort during washing and constantly touching up after drying to avoid water spots.
The PAINT DO NOT GET A METALLIC PAINT COLOR ITS TOO SOFT SEACHES WEN BREATHED ON, the people at two dealerships I've had oil changes done at say they give out lots of body shop cards and referrals to people with the metallic colors. Mpgs? Don't believe it, my old 07 v6 got better gmo,eagle on the highway at 50 all the way upto 80 mph, I get 29 on this 4 cylinder. My v6 got consistently 32 mpg sounded better not like the diesel from 82 the 4 does. Not enough changes in the model, still only comes in black carpet that shows everything but grease. Spend an extra 4 grand get a BMW 3 series or X1 you'll be glad, or even look at Nissan both are a lot more comfortable. If you get a sonata only get one step up from rental car level. Above that it's not worth the money. + More »
